Abstract
Optical Haar wavelet transforms are achieved with liquid crystal (LC) elements: patterned-electrode liquid crystal cells serve as generators of optical Haar wavelets, and LC microlens arrays are used in the fabrication of shadow-casting systems. The phase modulation characteristics of the patterned electrode LC cells are investigated by applying a voltage, and the 1-dimension, 2-dimension rectangular and circular Haar wavelets are obtained by adjusting the voltage applied to the LC cells. A shadow-casting system composed of a LC microlens array is proposed. Due to the variability of the focal length of the LC microlens, good optical wavelet transforms can be achieved readily.
